TnE Secretary Of the Treasury
wisely advises Congress against the
abolition Of the internal revenue
tax, and explains why that tar
should be continued so long as
government expenses require extra
ordinary taxation. The removal OF
the tax from spirits, beer and to-
bacco would SO reduce the govern
ment revenue that to make good the
deficiency a tax would have to be
imposed on many articles in common
use which are now free and the bur-
den would fall oppressingly on the
poor people. Whisky and tobacco
are in no sense necessities; they are
not required by the people, and it
is believed by a very large percent
age of the population of the world
that humanity would be better of
if the art of distilling spirits were
lost, and the earth would no longer
produce the tobacco plant. AT any
rate, the people who use these arti
cles can afford to pay the tax on
them. With the administration so
logically opposed to the abolition
of the internal revenue system while
extraordinary customs duties are
collected from articles which are
essential to the health and comfort
of the people, it is not likely tn at
there will be cheaper tobacco and
rum and dearer clothing, tea, coffee
and other necessities.

AsIATIC CHOLERA has reappear.
ed in Chill a month earlier than the
similar visitation last year; and,
since the warm season has already
begun in that country, the disease
will be likely to spread and increase
in virulencc. Therefore it behooves
the health authorities at the various
seaports of the United States-on
the Atlantic coast as we'll as the
Pacific side-to put rigidly through
quarantine all craft hailing from
Valparaiso and its vicinage. We
are going to have Presidential
campaign next year, and we do not
want the cholera.

Mr.. PowDERLY objects to the
monopoly telegraph wires because
they are used to send lying state
ments broadcast over the country.
That is .deplorable, truly. But there
is no remedy for it to be afforded
by making the Government own the
lines and cheapening rates. The
liars would then be enabled to do
their telegraphing on more favor
able terms. Perhaps Mr.. Powder
ly would establish a Government
censorship over the messages sent
by wire.

This has not been a good year for
the Prohibitionists. Greater efforts
than ever were put forth to carry
the several elections, and yet there
was a discouragiNg falling off in the
Prohibition vote, taking the coun-
try at large. The Indiana Christian
advocate gives the gains and losses
Of the year as follows Gains-New
York, 4,459; Ohio, 1,619; Nebras-
ka, 1900; Massachusetts,, 779.
Losses-Kentucky, 1888; Penn
sylvania, $4,000; New Jersey, s.,
500; Maryland. 1923; Iowa, ,405.
Total loss, 47.394. The temper
ance people, however, are not dis
heartened. They are full of earn
estness and courage, aud propose
to make a harder fight than ever
next year.

THE Overland Monthly" for
December is evidently a holiday
number, though no story or article
deals directly with the holiday sea-
son. This appearance is given to it
by the illustrations. The delight
full bits of river scenery surpass the
views of the Santa Clara Valley that
made the June Overland" a mark
ed mum Der. This time it is Shasta
County and the upper Sacramento
River, that have been presented,
and the work is done in that con-
scientious and artistic style, both in
the selection and execution of the
pictures and in the descriptive ar.
ticle by Ninetta Eames, that always
distinguishes the "Overland's"
work in illustrating the various
sections of the State. The value of
such articles cannot be over-estimat-
ed. There is also an illustrated ar
ticle on San Diego County, by T.
S. Van Dyke. lie speaks in an au-
thoritative and convincing style Of
the resources and possibilities of
southernmost California. This un-
exaggerated and thoroughly trust
worthy statement of its case is the
States best answer to those Eastern
journals that argue that..the Califor-
MIA "boom' is feverish and spec
ulative excitement on a par with
the "South Sea Bubble" and the
Dutch tulip craze. Down the
Nootsack" is an article telling of
the scenery to be found in Northern
Washington, with some remarkable
fish stories added, and "Mid.w winter
Days at Monterey is charming
picture of that famous resort by M.
Ii. Field. The present number
ranging from the British Columbia
line to San Diego, justifies the
.'Overland's" claim to represent
the entire Coast. In fiction the is
sue is strong. *, An Unknown
Quantity is most novel story; the
young mans difficulties in teaching
the girl, brought up in solitude by
her recluse father, about love and
lovers is most amusing situation.
"a Mexican Lover" is close anal
vsis of a phase of character that
Americans are prone to misunder-
stand. In addition to these there
are stories, poems, and, departments
all of the highest degree of merit.
The ssOverland' finishes the first
five years of its second series and
the twenty-first since its beginning
in 1868 with the possession and
promise of growth as sturdy and
surprising as that of the great coun-
try that it represents.

ONE of the most remarkable ar
guments yet presented against the
repeal of the internal revenue sys-
tenn is that it would abolish thous-
ands of Federal offices. and deprive
their occupants of salaries. This
same line of reasoning would raise
the strength Of the army to half a
million men, and put two men in
to every office the duties of which
are now performed by one.

LoNDoN's new Lord Mayor is a
Roman Catholic, aud because of
that fact he is in trouble. Since
his election he has been attending
Protestant churches, for which pro-
ceeding his co-religionists have
deemed it proper to adopt resolu-
tions reSuking him, whereupon he
says he shall continue to go to such
churches s'not only in his private,
but in his official capacity. as his
conscience shall dictate. = This
declaration has called forth q letter
addressed to him in which he is ask
ed eff you die during your term
OF Office shall You die privately or
officially p The Catholic Reriew
has taken the matter up, aud says
Sailing under two fags-the one
official, the other personal-must
lead to q shipwreck of character. =
Truly is the Lord Mayor in 3 de-
plorable dilemma. It would seem
that the only way for him to avoid
breakers during his official term Of
ofics would be to refrain from
church going altogether.
